Whatever happend to...

Waterbeds?

Don't ask, but for some reason this morning I woke up thinking about waterbeds...
I used to have one, at the time it was the greatest thing ever. They were so popular and then one day they were never heard of again. The best thing about the waterbed was the it could be heated! I used to crank the heat on my bed about an hour before going to bed...it would be so warm and toasty for me. I want to know what happened to the mighty waterbed...who decided it was no longer cool to sleep on them? And why?

Fake Snow!

I moved to NY with the promise of snow and lots of it...I feel betrayed...
There is no snow here...it is fake snow, the type of snow that fell in PA. As a child I suffered all of those types when snow was promised, by the feet, only to wake up the next morning to look out my window at the cold bleak brownish-green grass...not a blanket of fresh white snow. I am having those same feelings of disappointment now. As I sit here typing this, it is snowing, but I can tell, it won't last. The flakes are big and slow...not the heavy downpour of snow during a blizzard, the type of snow that lasts for days leaving over a foot or more of fluffy white snow. This is crappy fake snow and I don't like it. Everyone keeps telling me to wait for March...bah...in PA by March it was time to get out the shorts cause winter was over...I will wait for March, but I am not happy about it, not one bit. ;-)

Stupid fake snow...getting my hopes up for school cancellation...and days of building snow men in the front yard and having snowball fights with the neighborhood boys...only to leave me sitting in class angry at the false promises.

Phobias!

So I have a huge fear of spiders...they give me the creeps. They make me itchy and jumpy...
I am sure you all know where this story is going...

Today I went into the basement to restart the stupid router...after unplugging the router, waiting for 10 seconds and plugging it back in, I turned to leave the cat litter room in the basement and across the room on the wall was the biggest spider I have ever seen in my entire life.

Seriously I am not going to try and give a size of the spider, but it really looks like one of the spiders you see on the shows about Australia (they have some big fucking spiders down there!). This one is all black and furry and fat...with giant spider legs. I am so itchy right now it is not even funny...I have checked myself in the mirror twice now........

Damn the dryer is buzzing, my laundry is done....I can't go back down there...
I left the spider roaming free...I was afraid to get too close to it. It might jump at me...Grande said that it won't, but hell no, I just can't go down there, ever again...okay at least until it is smashed up into little spider bites.
Maybe then I can go down.

To prove the existence of the giant spider I may try to get a picture of it...
Okay I have to go and hide on the couch for the next two hours until Grande gets home.
